And I'm no shmup expert, I'm very much a beginner/novice of the genre, but the difficulty on normal is so forgiving that it doesn't take long to build the confidence to tackle the harder difficulties.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Besides the awesome scoring mechanics and the accurately tailored difficulties, the graphics of the game, though muted and not as pretty as some other titles from Cave or Toaplan, suit the theme and style of the game beautifully as the game really exudes a 80's-90's feel.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Right from the start of stage 1, you'll be flying your ship at warp speed, decimating waves upon waves of enemies with 5 different weapon power ups, and if you are successful, you might even be lucky enough to survive the creative and very fun boss battles of all 8 stages, all this while rocking out to a fitting soundtrack that's worth listening too by itself!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics have a wonderful 8bit aesthetic which provides a clean and clear view of the action which is a good thing as the game moves at a really fast pace.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Oh yeah, there's even a co-op mode so you can take on the baddies with a friend or compete against others with the online leader boards in the caravan modes (very addicting)!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons are varied and work well giving the player lots of options and scope for experimenting to find the best weapon for a given situation.
